am I missing something? Are they more accuate, more reliable, cheaper or more versatile than other semi-auto rimfires? Are there competitions where they stand out? Hey, I'm an old fart, maybe it's a young man's thing but I don't get it. I have AR-15s in 5.56 and 6.8 so I'm familiar with the platform but .22?? As a training platform for newbies not yet comfortable enough to buy the larger caliber? Hey, if there's an advantage I'll get one. I see them advertised alot in the mid $400s. Am I in left field or does anyone agree with me?

Now, my Ruger MKIII that's a different animal---I love mine.
